There he finally found Sita, guarded by female demons, who were coercing her to become Ravana\u2019s wife. Secretly meeting with her, Hanuman showed Rama\u2019s ring to Sita, and told her of Rama\u2019s mission to rescue her, which gave her courage. But news of Hanuman\u2019s presence reached Ravana, and he sent his son Indrajit to capture the monkey general. Tied and chained, Hanuman was brought before Ravana and warned him of dire consequences lest he refuse to release Sita to Rama. This enraged Ravana, and although by the codes of war, the messenger could not be killed, he ordered Hanuman\u2019s tail to be set on fire before he was sent away. By now irate, Hanuman disentangled himself from his shackles and with giant leaps used his tail to set fire to the whole of Lanka before finally departing back across the waters, where he was able to relate the good tidings of Sita\u2019s safety to Rama and Lakshmana."},"invno":{"label":"Object number","value":"2026.017.011"},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Ink and colors on cloth"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":"2026.017.011"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Hanuman meets Sita in Lanka and shows her Rama's ring, from the Ramayana"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Paintings"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://emuseum.cornell.edu/internal/media/dispatcher/116991/full"},"culture":{"label":"Culture","value":"Indonesia, Bali, Kamasan"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"mid-20th century"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"267736"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Frame: 17 5/8 × 26 1/4 inches (44.8 × 66.7 cm)"}}]}
